EQUIP HDMI 2.1 Active Optical Cable Detachable Type D + A, 20 m, 48 Gbit/s, 8K/60Hz

The Equip HDMI 2.0 Detachable Type D + A Active Optical Cable provides long-distance, high-definition connectivity using active optical technology. It supports HDMI 2.1 features for up to 8K@60Hz and 4K@120Hz video, HDR formats and advanced audio return functions. The detachable connector design includes both HDMI Type-D (Micro HDMI) and Type-A (Standard HDMI) interfaces, enabling compatibility with cameras, laptops, projectors, monitors and televisions while the fiber optic construction reduces electromagnetic interference and keeps the cable compact and lightweight.

Advantages

The detachable Type‑D and Type‑A connectors let one cable serve devices with Micro HDMI and standard HDMI ports. Active optical construction preserves stable signal integrity over long distances while keeping the cable thin and easy to route. Zinc alloy housing and gold‑plated contacts increase connector durability and improve transmission quality. The cable is single‑directional (source → display), so correct orientation must be observed during installation.

How to use

Match the marked direction and connect the HDMI Type‑A or Type‑D end to the display and the source end to the output device according to the cable marking. Confirm that both source and display support the required HDMI features (for example eARC or specific HDR formats). Use Type‑D for Micro HDMI devices and Type‑A for standard HDMI ports. Avoid sharp bends in the fiber optic section and route the cable with sufficient clearance to prevent stress on connectors. Check device signal and format settings to enable the desired resolution and refresh rate.

Recommendations

Before purchase, verify the presence of the correct port (Type‑A or Type‑D) and the cable orientation: the cable is unidirectional—source to display. To achieve maximum resolutions and refresh rates, ensure both source and display support the required HDMI features and settings.
